I am from wheat<\/p>\n
from the softly draping Laurentides<\/p>\n
and the Nation River<\/p>\n
I am from lavender\u2014<\/p>\n
sweet, soothing.<\/p>\n
Intoxicating.<\/p>\n
From learning a cow’s daily routine.<\/p>\n
From Marcel<\/p>\n
and Sylvie.<\/p>\n
From Sleepytime<\/p>\n
and corn.<\/p>\n
I am from the butter churner<\/p>\n
whipping,<\/p>\n
p\u00e2t\u00e9 chinois,<\/p>\n
lilac,<\/p>\n
and late family dinners.<\/p>\n
My name is Genevi\u00e8ve and I am in my fourth year of Environment and Sustainability under the Geography department. I took this class because I have been wanting to take LAST100 for awhile (I saw Roma in the syllabus and thought it’d be a good excuse to watch that masterpiece again!) but this class works better with my schedule. I was also looking for another food course, as I did one in Anthropology last year and really enjoyed it! This is one of my last two electives so I’m really happy I found one that fits so well with my interests.<\/p>\n
I am originally from a farm in rural Ontario, have lived in Whistler on-and-off for a few years, but now live in Vancouver. I have travelled a lot through Latin\/South-Central America, and have returned to Ecuador a few times because of family living there. Two of my favourite spots are Mindo and Puerto Lopez. I was lucky enough to experience an intensive 5-week course in Quito to perfect my Spanish a few years ago, but besides watching Elite (honestly one of my favourite shows) and Jane the Virgin (but it’s over now…), I have no real opportunity to practice it. The next time I get to travel down South (?????) I would love to go to Argentina and Chile and experience skiing Patagonia – it’s been a dream of mine since I was a kid.<\/p>\n
Stoked to get started with this class and get to know everyone!<\/p>\n
